Just found out I have sleep apnea

October 17, 2003

I went for a sleep study last night and the tech told me that I

have " mild " sleep apnea. They put a cpap on me at 3:00 AM and said I

slept better with it on. The sleep clinic will be sending the report

to my pcp, who will go over it with me. Does anyone know how having

sleep apnea effects the surgery? Leah

I have a c-pap I was worried at first but the doctor says it will

help in the long run and I might now be on it in 6 months. It helped

me out alot. I am not tired at all anymore. I will have my surgery

November 12, 2003. This is a way to get the surgery. Cause the

insurance wants you off the c-pap. I have asthma and it helps with

it. Don't worry about surgery. Just take it with you.
